Advertising

Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much his Department has spent on advertising since May 2010; and for what types of costs such expenditure was made.

Brandon Lewis: My Department has cut spending on marketing and advertising from £9.9 million in 2009-10, to £898,000 in 2010-11 and £980,000 in 2011-12.
	Our advertising spending now mainly relates to (a) the 'Fire Kills' safety campaign and (b) informing council tenants of the new increased discount available under Right to Buy.
	To assist the hon. Member’s scrutiny of Whitehall savings, I would note that the previous Administration spent £22,000 of taxpayers' money on home information packs branding; £21,090 on Homebuy scheme branding; £15,000 on branding the Sustainable Communities summit (subsequently cancelled); £10,000 on branding the National Housing and Planning Advice Unit quango; £25,000 on Community Builders branding; £7,260 on Code for Sustainable Homes branding; £33,400 on Cleaner Safer Greener Communities branding; £3,520 on re-branding Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Fire Services as the Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser; £3,830 on a logo for the Department and Communities and Local Government followed by spending £24,765 on renaming it Communities and Local Government; and £1,371 on re-branding the 'Office of the Deputy Prime Minister' to the 'Deputy Prime Minister's Office'.

Homelessness: Young People

Gavin Shuker: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many young people presented as homeless in each local authority area in each year since 2008.

Mark Prisk: holding answer 28 January 2013
	The Department does not collect the requested information. The most relevant information that it collects from local authorities on the quarterly Homelessness (PIE) return is the number of households that have been accepted as being owed the main homeless duty where:
	(i) The applicant is aged 16 to 24; or
	(ii) The household falls within one of two priority need categories relating to young people: those with an applicant aged 16 or 17-year-old applicant; and those with an applicant formerly "in care", aged 18 to 20 years old
	A table has been placed in the-Library of the House, showing the numbers of homelessness acceptances with these characteristics in each local authority area in England during every year since 2008.
	The published national figures show that priority need homelessness acceptances relating to young people have reduced from 4,320 in 2008 to 2,060 in 2011.
	A robust homelessness safety net remains in place for young homeless people. Local authorities have a statutory duty to house 16 and 17-year-olds, care leavers under the age of 21, and people over 21 who are vulnerable as a result of being in care.
	The Ministerial Working Group on Homelessness second report ‘Making every contact count’, stresses the importance of supporting vulnerable young people to make a successful transition to adulthood. It champions a model of a 'positive youth accommodation pathway' for those who cannot stay within the family network or are leaving care. The report can be obtained from the Department's website at:
	www.gov.uk/government/publications/making-every-contact-count-a-joint-approach-to-preventing-homelessness
	We have invested £470 million over four years (2011-12 to 2014-15) to help local authorities and voluntary partners prevent and tackle all forms of homelessness including single homelessness, rough sleeping and repossessions.

Housing: Construction

Nick Raynsford: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many new dwelling construction starts there were in each local authority area in England in each quarter from 2005 to the latest quarter for which figures are available. [R]

Mark Prisk: holding answer 20 December 2012
	Information about building starts for each quarter from Q1 2005 to Q3 2012 in each local authority area are published in the Department's live table 253a, at the following link:
	https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-house-building
	We advise caution when using local authority level data on a quarterly basis as it is not recommended simply to compare one quarter with the next for an individual authority. At a local authority level, figures are not seasonally adjusted and can anyway be subject to considerable volatility.
	At the end of the last Administration, housebuilding had fallen to its lowest peacetime levels since the 1920s. Under this Government, housebuilding starts in England were 29% higher in 2011 compared to 2009.

Non-domestic Rates

Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what methodology his Department used to calculate the assumed level of business rates for each local authority for the years 2013-14 and 2014-15; and if he will place in the Library any supporting documents.

Brandon Lewis: The basis of the calculations of the baseline funding levels for each local authority for the years 2013-14 and 2.014-15 are set out in the draft Local Government Finance Report for 2013-14 and 2014-15. These are available from:
	http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1314/1314LGFRr.pdf
	http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1314/1415LGFRr.pdf

Non-domestic Rates

Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what assumptions he has made about the level of growth in business rate income for each local authority in estimating business rate income for the years 2013-14 and 2014-15; and what predicted levels of economic growth such assumptions are based upon.

Brandon Lewis: The Department has not estimated the level of growth in each local authority's income for the years 2013-14 and 2014-15. In accordance with the Office of Budget Responsibility's forecast of the change in the all items retail prices index for quarter 3 of 2013, the local share element of the Estimated business rates aggregate is assumed to increase between 2013-14 and 2014-15 by 3.1%.

Senior Civil Servants

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many and what proportion of officials of the three most senior grades in his Department have (a) resigned, (b) taken voluntary early retirement, (c) left the Department for alternative employment, (d) been dismissed, (e) taken long-term sick leave and (f) taken administrative leave since May 2010.

Brandon Lewis: In the period 1 May 2010 to 31 December 2012, staff at Director-level, Senior Civil Service Pay Band 2, and above:
	(a) Two staff resigned (5%).
	(b) Three staff took voluntary early retirement (8%).
	(d) No staff were dismissed.
	(e) One member of staff took a period of long-term sick leave (3%).
	(f) One member of staff has taken a short period of paid special leave following a family bereavement (3%).
	Figures for (c) staff leaving for alternative employment are not held centrally, however in addition to. the two staff above that resigned, a further four staff transferred to other Government Departments.
	These reductions in staffing reflect the fact that the DCLG Group is reducing its running costs by 44% in real terms over the spending review period.

Copyright

Mike Weatherley: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport with reference to her Department's publication, Modernising Copyright: a modern, robust and flexible framework, what uses the fair dealing exception for quotations are intended to facilitate.

Jo Swinson: The Berne Convention on copyright requires countries to allow quotations to be made from copyright works as long as their making is fair and their extent is justified. In line with this international requirement, the fair dealing exception for quotations will permit fair and reasonable uses of copyright works for purposes such as criticism, review, and commentary. It is for the Courts to determine which uses are fair on a case-by-case basis. Uses which might be considered fair dealing for the purpose of quotation include the use of citations in research papers, the use of titles to identify sources in a bibliography, and the use of titles and short extracts to identify hyperlinks in internet blogs and tweets.

Olympic Games 2012: Tickets

John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport who authorised the purchase by the Government of tickets to the London 2012 Olympics by Ministers representing (a) the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, (b) the Department for Communities and Local Government and (c) the Cabinet Office; and on what grounds such Ministers were not requested to pay for such tickets.

Hugh Robertson: Following discussions with the relevant Departments, including ministerial discussions, the purchase of tickets for these Departments was authorised by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media, Olympic and Sport. All Ministers who received a ticket did so because they were attending on official Government business or as part of the Government Ambassador Programme.

Africa

Gemma Doyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on which dates (a) he and (b) each other Minister in his Department has visited (i) Mali, (ii) Niger, (iii) Nigeria, (iv) Algeria, (v) Mauritania, (vi) Burkina Faso, (vii) Chad, (viii) Libya, (ix) Sudan, (x) South Sudan, (xi) Ethiopia, (xii) Somalia, (xiii) Kenya and (xiv) Western Sahara since 2010.

Andrew Murrison: Details of ministerial travel are published quarterly and are available at the following website:
	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministers-gifts-hospitality-travel-and-meetings

Defence: Procurement

Penny Mordaunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence 
	(1)  if he will publish the costings for his Department's Equipment Procurement and Equipment Support Plans; and if he will make a statement;
	(2)  if he will provide a summary of planned expenditure by his Department in the maritime equipment and maritime equipment support sectors; and if he will make a statement.

Philip Dunne: holding answer 29 January 2013
	The summary of the Ministry of Defence Equipment Plan was published on 31 January 2013 alongside the NAO assessment of the affordability of that plan. It includes details of our planned expenditure in all equipment and equipment support sectors, including the maritime sector.

Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press Inquiry

John McDonnell: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister with reference to paragraph 83 of the summary of recommendations in Lord Justice Leveson's report on The Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press, what steps he has taken to comply with the recommendations set out in that paragraph.

Nicholas Clegg: The Government already publishes, on a quarterly basis, information about meetings between Ministers, permanent secretaries, special advisers and media proprietors, editors and senior executives. Cross-party talks about Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations, including the implementation of recommendations at paragraph 83 for Government Ministers and Front Bench Opposition spokesmen, are ongoing.

Sharon Hodgson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education 
	(1)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for disabled children; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(2)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for families policy; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(3)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for children and young people's health and wellbeing (drugs, alcohol, teenage pregnancy, obesity); and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(4)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for the community and voluntary sector; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(5)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for bullying; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(6)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for the United Nations Convention on Human Rights of the Child; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(7)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for home education; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(8)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for international policy; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(9)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for employer engagement; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities;
	(10)  which Minister within his Department has responsibility for young carers; and for what reasons this area of policy no longer appears in the list of ministerial responsibilities.

Elizabeth Truss: All Department for Education Ministers share collective responsibility for all areas of the Department for Education's interests.
	Within the Department for Education, the Under-Secretary of State for Education, my hon. Friend the Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Mr Timpson), has responsibility for disabled children. The Under-Secretary of State for Skills, my hon. Friend the Member for West Suffolk (Matthew Hancock), has responsibility for international policy and employer engagement while I have responsibility for bullying, the United Nations Convention on Human Rights of the Child, home education and young carers.
	Issues such as families policy, children and young people's health and wellbeing (drugs, alcohol, teenage pregnancy, obesity); and the community and voluntary sector impact on and influence many of the Department's policies and objectives. All Department for Education Ministers share collective responsibility for these areas, as and when they interact with their particular ministerial portfolios.
	A more comprehensive published list of individual ministerial responsibilities can be found on the Departmental for Education website at:
	https://www.education.gov.uk/aboutdfe/departmentalinformation/ministerialteam
	The published list of individual ministerial responsibilities does not cover everything Ministers do, but provides a guide to some of Ministers' key individual areas of responsibility.

GCE AS-level

Kevin Brennan: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the recent Cambridge University Admissions Research Working Party study of the effectiveness of AS levels as a predictor for degree performance.

Elizabeth Truss: holding answer 30 January 2013
	In considering changes to A levels, the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), and I have spoken to a number of universities and reflected on the range of available evidence, including Cambridge University Admissions Research Working Party study into the effectiveness of the AS level as a predictor of degree course performance. While the current AS level qualification may be a useful aid for university admissions, academics have indicated that the current-A levels do not provide an adequate preparation for undergraduate degrees. New linear A level qualifications will benefit students by reducing the burden of assessment and promoting deeper understanding. Retaining a standalone AS level qualification will enable students to continue to study a broad curriculum post-16.

Energy: Scotland

Tom Greatrex: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what assessment he has made of the regional market share in Scotland of each of the big six energy suppliers.

John Hayes: Data on the market share of the big six energy suppliers in Scotland is not available. However, Ofgem published data on the market share of the ‘big six’ energy suppliers in Great Britain in their Retail Market Review in October 2012. This suggested the following overall market shares, averaged across both electricity and gas:
	
		
			  Percentage 
			 British Gas 32 
			 EDF 12 
			 E.On 16 
			 RWE nPower 13 
			 Scottish Power 10 
			 SSE 17 
		
	
	The report containing these findings can be found here, with the market shares detailed on pages 35-36:
	http://www.ofgem.gov.uk/Markets/RetMkts/rmr/Documents1/The%20Retail%20Market%20Review%20-%20Updated%20domestic%20proposals.pdf

Energy: Security

Philip Hollobone: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what steps he is taking with other Government departments and energy companies to ensure the security from terrorism of UK-based energy-related facilities and UK staff working in energy-related facilities abroad.

John Hayes: The Government keeps the security of UK energy facilities under constant review working closely with site owners and operators who are responsible for the protection of their assets and workforce.
	The Foreign and Commonwealth Office supports British nationals around the world through consular services and maintains close relations with UK energy companies both in London and through its network of posts. FCO have been co-ordinating urgently with British and western oil companies in the region following the In Amenas attack to engage with them on extra security precautions they might consider, and in their relations with the host countries that remain responsible for their security.

Green Deal Scheme

Mark Menzies: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what recent progress he has made on the Green Deal.

Gregory Barker: The Green Deal went live on Monday 28 January when the first consumers were able to sign Green Deal plans and the Government's 'Green Deal With It' communications campaign, aimed at building consumer understanding and trust in the initiative, was launched.

Green Deal Scheme

Tom Greatrex: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many Green Deal assessments have been carried out in (a) the UK, (b) Scotland, (c) England and (d) Wales since 1 October 2012.

Gregory Barker: The Green Deal is a market mechanism, and data on assessments undertaken is not collected centrally until they are 'lodged' on a central register. However, feedback from a number of organisations active in the market suggests that several hundred assessments have already been conducted.
	There can be a time-lag of up to a fortnight before the outputs of these assessments are lodged. DECC are finalising their arrangements for quality checking the lodged data, and we will be publishing regular reports covering a range of statistical data, including the number of assessments lodged, with a breakdown across England and the devolved Administrations in Great Britain. Plans for the release of this data, in line with statistics protocols, will be announced shortly.

Procurement

Julian Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what proportion of procurement contracts offered by his Department has been advertised on the Contracts Finder website since that website's inception.

Gregory Barker: The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not record the total numbers of all contracts let centrally. The Department advertises contract opportunities for work with an estimated value at over £10,000 on the Contracts Finder website.
	To date, 76 contract opportunities have been advertised on Contracts Finder since it's inception. The Department has in addition published documentation on 83 contracts that have been procured either through Contracts Finder adverts or through the Government Procurement Service frameworks.
	The figures shown above may not be a complete record of all contracts let as some contracts may be excluded from publication for commercial sensitivity or security reasons.

Ecology: Woking

Jonathan Lord: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what ecological projects his Department has provided funding for in Woking constituency since May 2010.

Richard Benyon: Through Natural England, the Forestry Commission, the Environment Agency and working in partnership with non-government organisations, local authorities and land managers, DEFRA funding has supported a significant number of projects within this constituency.
	For example within the constituency there are four Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), supported by agri-environment agreements. Over the 10 year life period of these agreements nearly £4 million of agri-environment funding is being brought into the constituency to support environmental land management (Ash to Brookwood Heaths SSSI, Horsell Common SSSI, Smart and Prey Heaths SSSI and Basingstoke Canal SSSI). Environmental Stewardship is also supporting projects with Horsell Common Preservation Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, Woking Council and Basingstoke Canal Trust.
	Other projects include providing improved Suitable Accessible Natural Greenspaces (SANGs) such as White Rose Lane Nature Reserve to encourage walkers away from sensitive bird nesting areas within Horsell Common (part of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area).
	The Hoe Stream Flood Alleviation Scheme: this includes the creation of three new ponds, 0.3 hectares of reedbed, three hectares of lowland meadow and created new marginal habitat along the edges of the Hoe Stream.
	The Surrey Waterbodies Project: this is a county-wide partnership project with the Surrey Wildlife Trust (including the Woking area) that provides ecological advice, habitat management and non native invasive species control by engaging with local communities/volunteers.
	The Wey Structures Project: this partnership project with Southampton university is creating decision support tools to assist with the delivery of the Water Framework Directive. The project covers the Wey from source to the Thames, including the Woking area.

Horses: Slaughterhouses

Mary Creagh: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the results have been of testing for phenylbutazone at UK abattoirs licensed to slaughter horses in the last year for which figures are available; and at which abattoirs such tests are carried out.

Anna Soubry: I have been asked to reply 
	on behalf of the Department of Health.
	The information requested is shown in the following tables.
	
		
			 2012 samples tested for phenylbutazone 
			  Number 
			 Total number of samples collected for testing of phenylbutazone in 2012 158 
			 Number of compliant (negative) results 149 
			 Number of non-compliant (positive) results 9 
		
	
	These figures combine samples collected as part of the Veterinary Residues Statutory Survey and the Food Standards Agency Survey.
	In 2012 these samples were collected at the following abattoirs:
	
		
			 Country Establishment name Establishment number 
			 England High Peak Meat Exports Ltd 4,185 
			 England Peter Boddy 2,163 
			 England Stillmans (Somerset) Ltd 8,231 
			 England Yorkshire Country Meats 2,238 
			 Northern Ireland Oakdale 9,080 
			 Note: Yorkshire Country Meats (2,238) ceased processing horses in September 2012.

Blood Diseases: Drugs

Barry Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Health 
	(1)  what assessment he has made of the (a) clinical effects and (b) cost effectiveness of prescribing dabigatran and revaroxaban rather than warfarin; and if he will make a statement;
	(2)  whether he has received representations from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence on (a) dabigatran and (b) revaroxaban; and if he will make a statement.

Norman Lamb: The Department has made no such assessment.
	Dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto) both hold European marketing authorisations. Dabigatran etexilate is indicated for the prevention of the formation of blood dots in the veins in adults who have had an operation to replace a hip or knee, and to prevent strokes and the formation of clots in adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are considered to be at risk of stroke. Rivaroxaban is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients who are undergoing surgery to replace a hip or knee; the prevention of stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation; to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism following a severe case of DVT; and to prevent DVT reoccurring.
	The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued technology appraisal (TA) guidance to the national health service on the use of dabigatran etexilate and rivaroxaban for a number of indications. Details of NICE'S guidance are shown in the table.
	
		
			 TA number Drug and indication Publication date 
			 TA157 Dabigatran etexilate for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after hip or knee replacement surgery in adults September 2008 
			 TA170 Rivaroxaban for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip or total knee replacement in adults April 2009 
			 TA249 Dabigatran etexilate for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation March 2012 
			 TA256 Rivaroxaban for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in people with atrial fibrillation May 2012 
			 TA261 Rivaroxaban for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism July 2012 
		
	
	Other than those representations received in the Department's capacity as a stakeholder in appraisals, we have not received any representations from NICE on these drugs.

Diabetes: Brigg

Andrew Percy: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps his Department has taken to support the prevention of Type 2 diabetes in Brigg and Goole constituency.

Anna Soubry: Type 2 diabetes is closely linked to lifestyle factors such as being overweight and physical inactivity. The Government is committed to tackling excess weight and obesity, and has published ‘Healthy Lives, Health People: A call to action on obesity in England’ which sets out our commitment to key programmes such as Change4Life, and the NHS Health Check. A copy has already been placed in the Library.
	The Government has recently launched the Change4Life Be Food Smart campaign to give people information about the foods they eat, and help them make healthier choices.
	The Government is also continuing to fund and support the full rollout of the NHS Health Check programme, which includes assessing the risk of diabetes for people aged 40 to 74 and supporting them in managing or reducing that risk. From April this year the NHS Healthcheck programme will be mandated to local authorities to secure local delivery of the risk assessment element of the programme. Economic modelling has shown the potential for the programme to prevent over 4,000 people a year from developing diabetes and to detect over 20,000 cases of diabetes and kidney disease earlier.
	North Lincolnshire's clinical commissioning group has a number of dedicated services relating to Type 2 diabetes. There is primary care detection screening for patients at risk of diabetes. These patients are then offered lifestyle advice and can be put in touch with Health Trainers and other services aimed at helping people lead a healthier life.

Fertility: Health Services

Andrew Griffiths: To ask the Secretary of State for Health 
	(1)  pursuant to the answer of 15 January 2013, Official Report, column 704, on in vitro fertilisation (IVF), what steps he is taking to implement a central monitoring system for measuring local variations in IVF provision;
	(2)  what steps his Department is taking to ensure that levels of provision are not reduced as a result of the transferring of local contracts for tertiary infertility services from April 2013;
	(3)  what steps (a) his Department and (b) the NHS Commissioning Board have taken since April 2012 to prepare clinical commissioning groups for the responsibility of commissioning tertiary infertility services.

Anna Soubry: Commissioning decisions made by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) will be underpinned by clinical insight and knowledge of local healthcare needs. This will enable CCGs to work closely with secondary care, other health and care professionals and with community partners to design joined up services that make sense to patients and the public.
	We will continue to expect that those involved in commissioning infertility treatment services are fully aware of the importance of having regard to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) fertility guidelines. The NHS Commissioning Board (NHS CB) has stated its intention to communicate with CCGs on this subject and provide, some supportive commissioning resources, following publication of the revised NICE guideline. The NHS CB will have general intervention powers in relation to CCGs, should it be satisfied that a CCG is failing or has failed to discharge any of its functions, or there is a significant risk that it will fail to do so.

Heart Diseases

Barry Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Health 
	(1)  what the (a) detection rates and (b) rates of patients fully treated are for atrial fibrillation; and what steps he is taking to improve identification and treatment;
	(2)  what assessment he has made of the care given to people with atrial fibrillation in (a) Huddersfield and (b) England; and if he will make a statement.

Anna Soubry: Data on incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is not collected centrally. However, data on the prevalence of AF is collected via the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). This data is shown in the following table. Data for Kirklees primary care trust (PCT) has been provided as it covers Huddersfield.
	
		
			 QOF AF prevalence 
			 Percentage 
			  2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 
			 England 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.4 1.4 1.5 
			 Kirklees PCT 1.1 1.1 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.3 
		
	
	Data on the use of treatments for AF is not centrally collected. However, data on the percentage of patients with AF who receive either an oral anticoagulant or aspirin to manage their risk of stroke is collected via the QOF AF3 indicator.
	
		
			 Score on AF3, 2011-12 
			  Percentage 
			 England 93.7 
			 Kirklees PCT 93.8 
		
	
	Better detection and treatment of AF is being considered as part of the development of the Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes Strategy, which is due to be published by the end of March 2013.
	NHS Improvement is working with the national health service to roll out the Guidance on Risk Assessment and Stroke Prevention in AF (GRASP-AF) tool to help ensure that those patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation are receiving appropriate treatment. So far, 2,276 general practitioner practices (28% of practices in England) have used the GRASP-AF tool.

NHS: Finance

Rosie Cooper: To ask the Secretary of State for Health with reference to his announcement of a £140 million fund for nurses and midwives to improve care in October 2012, what plans he has made to implement (a) the specific funding for nurses and midwives to spend on new technology and (b) other funding; and if he will make a statement.

Daniel Poulter: In October 2012 the Government announced the establishment of a £100 million technology fund (capital) to help equip nurses and midwives with latest technologies designed to help them to provide safer, more effective and more efficient care to patients and service users. All national health service providers, whether hospital or community based, will be able to bid for a loan from the fund. Repayment of the loan may be waived if they can show demonstrable impact on patient care through the Friends and Family Test (FIT) or another patient experience measure (if they are not mandated to use the FTT).
	The fund will be available during 2013-14 and 2014-15. Following further consultation with internal and external stakeholders, further details on the roll-out of the fund will be released at the start of the new financial year.
	The Government has also invested £40 million in the next two financial years (2013-14 and 2014-15) to support nurses, midwives and those working in the care sector to develop themselves as leaders in care. This investment (delivered via the NHS Leadership Academy) will help nurses and midwives develop leadership skills to improve patient care and the patient experience. Its aim is to help change the nature of leadership by shaping a culture that is supportive of compassionate care

Obesity: Children

Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of eleven year olds in each primary care trust area have been classified as obese in each year since 2003.

Anna Soubry: This information is not available in the format requested.
	Data on the prevalence of obese children by primary care trust is available from the Health and Social Care information centre "National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP): England". However, this information is only available for children in year 6 (10 to 11 years old) for the school years 2006-07 to 2011-12. This information is available on the NHS information centre website at:
	www.ic.nhs.uk/searchcatalogue?productid=101358ttopics=0%2fPublic+ health&sort=Relevance&size=10&page=l#top
	Information showing the prevalence of children (aged two to 15) who are obese is available in Table 4 of the Child Trend tables from ‘Health Survey for England—2011 trend tables’.
	Information is available for children aged 11 to 15 and two to 15 in England; for each year from 1995 to 2011. This information is available at:
	www.ic.nhs.uk/pubs/hse11trendtables
	This information has already been placed in the Library.

Social Services

Nick Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many and what proportion of adults are receiving social care in (a) Newcastle and (b) Wokingham.

Norman Lamb: Data on the number of adults (aged 18 and over) receiving social care is collected and published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
	Table 1 shows the number and proportion of adults aged 18 and over, who received social care in the period 1 April to 31 March 2011-12, in Newcastle and Wokingham.
	
		
			 Table 1: Number and proportion of adults aged 18 and over receiving social care in the period 1 April to 31 March 2011-12 (provisional) 
			  Number Proportion of adults(1) (percentage) 
			 Newcastle 9,150 0.6

Databases: Telecommunications

David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much her Department has spent on the Communications Capabilities Development Programme since its inception.

James Brokenshire: holding answer 10 December 2012
	The Office of Security and Counter Terrorism has spent £405 million since May 2010 on the communications capabilities development programme under the current Government which is based on the premise that there will be collaborative relations with communications services providers who will be expected to retain relevant communications data. These costs comprise expenditure under the Communications Capabilities Directorate, and the Communications Capabilities Development programme and include forecast 2012-13 figures. The Home Office led programme includes expenditure under the Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations, developing new tools to assist law enforcement, and training for investigators.

Licensing Laws

Diana Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans she has to introduce full-cost recovery in respect of alcohol licensing; and what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on that matter.

Jeremy Browne: holding answer 25 January 2013
	The Government has introduced, through the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, a power for the Secretary of State to prescribe by regulations that alcohol licensing fees be set locally on a cost-recovery basis. We intend to introduce regulations in the summer of 2013, after consulting on the fees proposals. Home Office Ministers frequently meet Ministers from other Government Departments as part of the process of policy development and delivery. As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings.

High Speed 2 Railway Line

Frank Dobson: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the additional cost of extending the HS2 purchase and compensation regime outside the M25 to the area inside the M25.

Simon Burns: The Government believes that it would be contrary to the public interest to release details of our modelling as to the additional cost of extending the HS2 purchase and compensation regime outside the M25 to the area inside the M25. This is because such details are likely to be misrepresented and to mislead prospective property buyers about the future value of properties near the HS2 route. This would risk undermining local property markets and creating unnecessary property blight.

High Speed 2 Railway Line

Zac Goldsmith: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reasons the proposals for the Heathrow High Speed 2 spur and station are not currently planned to be part of the High Speed 2 phase two consultation.

Simon Burns: As stated in January 2012, the Government believes the HS2 network should link to Heathrow and its preferred option is for this to be built as part of Phase Two. However, the Government has since established an independent Airports Commission to recommend options for maintaining the country's status as an international aviation hub. We have therefore taken the decision to pause work on the spur to Heathrow until after 2015 when we expect the Airports Commission to publish its final report.

Procurement

Julian Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of procurement contracts offered by his Department has been advertised on the Contracts Finder website since that website's inception.

Norman Baker: The Department for Transport has advertised 144 of 646 (22%) of its procurement contracts on the Contracts Finder website since its inception.
	I am aware that my Hon Friend asked the same question in July 2011. Subsequent to giving the answer on 19 July 2011 [Official Report, Column 949W] of 56%, more information has become available, which accounts for the change in percentage. Had this information come to light at an early time, the answer would have been 26%.

Southern

Maria Eagle: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions (a) he and (b) officials in his Department have had with Go-Ahead Group plc concerning revenue support to Southern; and what estimate he has made of the proportion of such support that the franchise will require.

Simon Burns: The Secretary of State for Transport, my right hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire Dales (Mr McLoughlin), has had no discussions with Go-Ahead Group plc concerning Revenue Support to Southern.
	Southern and Go-Ahead Group has advised my officials that they expect to require revenue support at the 80% level when it becomes eligible in September 2013.
	Southern is a premium paying operator and does not receive subsidy from the Government. If eligible for revenue support we still expect Southern to make net payments for operating the franchise.

Bank of England

John Mann: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the involvement of women in the decision-making bodies of the Bank of England.

Greg Clark: The Government is committed to appointing serious, knowledgeable and experienced candidates with the appropriate qualifications and skills to sit on the Bank of England's decision-making bodies.
	Appointments should be made on merit. Diversity is always an important consideration when appointing external members of the Monetary Policy Committee and Financial Policy Committee, and when recommending appointees to the Court of Directors. This includes career and training background, as well as ethnicity and gender.
	The Government will continue to encourage women to apply for vacancies.

Financial Services: Taxation

George Galloway: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will introduce a financial transactions tax.

Greg Clark: The Government is not against financial transaction taxes in principle, but believes that they should only be contemplated at a global level, due to concerns over the risks of relocation of economic activity and to competitiveness that a regional financial transaction tax would imply.
	We have also been clear that the UK will not participate in the European Commission's proposals for a financial transaction tax because, as the Commission's own impact analysis concludes, their central estimate is that it would reduce EU GDP by 1.7%, equivalent to €216 billion, driven by an increase in the cost of capital for business, and see the relocation of between 70 and 90% of some markets away from the EU.

Financial Services: Taxation

George Galloway: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of how much a financial transactions tax of 0.01 per cent would generate for the Exchequer.

Greg Clark: Although the Government is not against financial transaction taxes in principle, we believe these should only be contemplated at a global level, due to concerns over the risks of relocation of economic activity and to competitiveness that a regional financial transaction tax would imply.
	Following international discussions, it has become clear that consensus for a global FTT does not currently exist.
	We have therefore not made an assessment of what a domestic financial transaction tax of 0.01% would generate tor the Exchequer. Any assessment of the revenue impact would also need to take account of several factors likely to reduce Exchequer yield, including reductions in corporation tax receipts from the sector and reduction in tax revenues as a whole due to the negative growth impacts of the tax.
	We have also been clear that the UK will not participate in the European Commission's proposals for a financial transaction tax because, as the Commission's own impact analysis concludes, their central estimate is that it would reduce EU GDP by 1.76%, equivalent to €216 billion, driven by an increase in the cost of capital for business, and see the relocation of between 70 and 90% of some markets away from the EU.

Insurance Premium Tax

Priti Patel: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will reassess his Department's estimate of the costs to motorists of the changes to insurance premiums contained in the Equality Act 2010 (Amendment) Regulations 2012 in respect of gender sensitive pricing in the light of recent experience of actual changes in premiums.

Sajid Javid: The Government was disappointed with the European Court of Justice ruling that prohibited the use of gender in the pricing of insurance policies and anticipated that it would have a largely negative impact on consumers. The Government's Impact Assessment, published in December 2011 set out our assumption that the judgment would result in an initial net increase in the cost of premiums. As the market adjusts, the effect of competition is expected to help drive premiums down but overall we expect that the market will stabilise with premiums at a higher level overall than they were before. Government has been working with industry and the Financial Services Authority to mitigate as far as possible the negative impacts of the judgment. We will also continue to work with all relevant parties to understand the future pricing impacts.

Revenue and Customs: Telephone Services

Gregg McClymont: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer 
	(1)  if he will estimate the cost that would be incurred to the public purse of making HM Revenue and Customs' public contact numbers freephone services;
	(2)  what recent assessment he has made of the feasibility and cost of switching HM Revenue and Customs' public contact telephone numbers to a freephone service.

David Gauke: HMRC has not made a recent detailed assessment of the feasibility and cost of switching HM Revenue and Customs' public contact telephone numbers to a free phone service (0800 numbers). However, the Department deals with around 80 million calls annually and believes that moving to a free phone service would be too costly.
	In August 2012, HMRC announced an additional investment of £34 million over the next 18 months to ensure that contact centre performance improves, aiming to meet and sustain its target of answering 90% of all calls.
	In 2011, HMRC moved its Tax Credit helpline to a 0345 prefix service. This represents 40% of its customer base. On 28 January 2013, HMRC advised the Public Accounts Committee that it also plans to start moving its remaining 0845 numbers to 03 prefix numbers. This work will start in April 2013, with its child benefit helpline. All other HMRC helplines with a 08 prefix will transfer to 03 prefix numbers by the end of summer 2013. This will help to reduce the costs of calls for some of HMRC's most vulnerable customers.

Sovereign Wealth Funds

Richard Graham: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration his Department has given to seeking finance for infrastructure projects in the UK from sovereign wealth funds; and if he will make a statement.

Danny Alexander: This Government set out in its 5-year Strategy for UKTI published in May 2011, “Britain Open for Business”, the intended approach to attracting inward investment from major overseas institutional investors. UKTI has now established the Strategic Relations team and is actively engaged in this initiative with the world's largest sovereign wealth funds.
	The “National Infrastructure Plan—Update 2012”, published alongside the autumn statement, highlights some of the successes already achieved in this area. The Chancellor and Commercial Secretary meet routinely with major international investors to promote inward investment into the UK. In addition, Infrastructure UK provides support to UKTI in relation to infrastructure investment.

Wales

Jonathan Edwards: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the regional, sub-regional and local gross value-added estimates as they apply to Wales, published by the Office of National Statistics in December 2012.

Danny Alexander: The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes estimates of regional Gross Value Added (GVA) annually. On 12 December 2012 they published estimates for 2011 that are provisional and may be revised. The following table shows growth rates for regional, sub-regional and local GVA in Wales. All estimates are presented in current prices and not volume measures that take account of price changes.
	The need to return the UK economy to sustainable growth that is more balanced across the UK and across sectors has been at the centre of the Government's economic strategy.

Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press Inquiry

John McDonnell: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office with reference to paragraph 83 of the summary of recommendations in Lord Justice Leveson's report on The Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press, what steps his Department has taken to comply with the recommendations set out in that paragraph.

Francis Maude: The Government already publishes, on a quarterly basis, information about meetings between Ministers, permanent secretaries, special advisers and media proprietors, editors and senior executives. Cross-party talks about Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations, including the implementation of recommendations at paragraph 83 for Government Ministers and Front Bench Opposition spokesmen, are ongoing.

Cybercrime

Chi Onwurah: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what assessment he has made of the likely effect on Government cyber security of the development of network virtualisation.

Chloe Smith: In developing its ICT Strategy Government works very closely with CESG, the Information Assurance Arm of GCHQ, and the Security Services in order to ensure that the relevant security is considered and employed. This complements the ongoing and routine support CESG provides to the Government on how to protect its networks and detect and mitigate various types of cyber attack.

Employment: North East

Andrew Stephenson: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many people were employed in (a) part-time and (b) full-time work in (i) Pendle constituency, (ii) Lancashire and (iii) the North West in (A) 2009, (B) 2010, (C) 2011 and (D) 2012.

Jack Dromey: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the average salary was in (a) Birmingham, Erdington constituency, (b) Birmingham and (c) the West Midlands for (i) women and (ii) men in each of the last five years for which figures are available.

Nick Hurd: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.

Insolvency

Tom Watson: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills if he will bring forward legislative proposals to amend the Insolvency Act 1986 to give preferential creditor status to those consumers who have purchased gift vouchers from companies in the UK.

Jo Swinson: I have no plans to bring forward such legislative proposals.
	An underlying principle in insolvency law is that all creditors are treated equally within their class—the fairest way of treating creditors where there is insufficient funds to pay them all. For this reason the list of preferential creditors is kept to an absolute minimum; if one group of creditors is preferred, it can only mean that the position of all other creditors below them is worsened.

New Businesses

Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what facilities and support are available to newly-founded companies to assist them with employee regulations and legislation.

Jo Swinson: Guidance on employment regulations and legislation is provided online on the single Government website:
	www.gov.uk
	The website has a section aimed at employers called "Employing people" at:
	https://www.gov.uk/browse/employing-people
	and a page specifically aimed at new employers called "Employing staff for the first time" at:
	https://www.gov.uk/employing-staff
	BIS sponsors The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) which provides guidance, best practice and advice on employment rights and law to employers and workers through its helpline. The Helpline (08457 47 47 47) provides employers, employees and their representatives with advice designed to help them avoid or resolve disputes in the workplace.
	The Pay and Work Rights helpline provides advice and guidance on employment rights and law to everyone and is contactable by telephone on 0800 917 2368 and via an online inquiry form at:

	using #businessinyou. In particular, a section of advice on the Business in You website is dedicated to providing advice and support around employment for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as employment is one of the core themes of the Business in You campaign.

Overseas Trade: China

Alun Cairns: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps his Department takes to support companies in accessing and using Renminbi when trading with China.

Greg Clark: I have been asked to reply 
	on behalf of the Treasury.
	The Government is supporting the private sector led development of the international RMB market in London, with the objective of establishing London as the Western Hub for RMB business.
	HM Treasury is leading this development through the facilitation of the London-Hong Kong International RMB Forum. On the second day of the Forum in December I was pleased to welcome over 60 corporate treasurers to HMT to discuss the opportunities to access RMB products and services in London.

Postgraduate Education

Shabana Mahmood: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps his Department is taking as a result of a fall in the number of postgraduate students enrolled at universities in 2013.

David Willetts: The Government recognises the important role of postgraduate study in sustaining higher level skills for the UK, contributing to the development of the next generation of researchers for academia and for supporting the wider economy and sustainable economic growth.
	In 2011, I asked the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to undertake a programme of work to understand the impact of changes in higher education finance on postgraduates. That programme is ongoing. The numbers of students undertaking postgraduate education continued to increase through the early part of the recession and the decline in the last year may partly represent stabilising of the market following a period of significant growth.
	Government support for both postgraduate taught and research provision is continuing. For 2012-13, HEFCE's allocation for taught postgraduate provision is being maintained at similar levels to 2011-12, at ca £135 million. In addition, HEFCE will provide £240 million for postgraduate research degree supervision support, and Research Councils will invest £340 million in postgraduate research provision.

Work Programme

Caroline Dinenage: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he is taking to address levels of functional illiteracy on the Work Programme.

Mark Hoban: Work programme providers have the flexibility to design individually tailored support based on participant need. If providers cannot deliver this either in-house or through their existing subcontractors they would be expected to source specialist provision to meet the needs of people as required. In addition, basic skills provision in literacy is available to Work programme participants through the Skills Funding Agency.

Bulgaria

Philip Hollobone: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to his EU counterparts about involvement by Hezbollah in the Burgas terror attack.

Alistair Burt: We remain deeply concerned by indications that Hezbollah was involved in the terrorist attack in Bourgas. Once the official Bulgarian investigation has concluded, the EU will need to decide how to respond. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), is in close touch with his EU counterparts on this issue as is the Secretary of State for the Home Department, my right hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May). Based on our national proscription, we continue to believe there is a strong case for similar action by the EU against the military wing of Hezbollah.

Burma

Valerie Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to the Government of Burma on the number of political prisoners in Burma's jails and detention centres.

Hugo Swire: The British Government recognises the progress made by the Burmese Government on releasing large numbers of political prisoners over the last two years, and granting the International Committee of the Red Cross access to Burmese prisons. We remain committed to ensuring that all remaining political prisoners are released, and their cases reviewed through a transparent and independent mechanism. During my visit to Burma from 12-15 December, I raised the issue of the prisoner review mechanism and addressed specific political prisoners' cases of concern to the UK Government including that of UNHCR employee Nandar Aung and her husband, following which both were released without charge. On 21 January, the British ambassador to Rangoon received assurances that the Burmese Government remains committed to the creation of an independent prisoner review mechanism. We will continue to follow up on progress made.

Burma

Rushanara Ali: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to his Burmese counterpart on (a) promoting tolerance and peaceful co-existence between Arakan Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims and (b) creating an environment conducive to the safe return of displaced people.

Hugo Swire: The British Government remains extremely concerned about the plight of internally displaced people from both the Rakhine Buddhist and Rohingya Muslim communities in Rakhine State.
	During my recent visit to Burma in December 2012, I visited Rakhine State and raised our concerns with Burmese Ministers and local leaders, including the chief Minister of Rakhine State. I called for security for all affected populations to prevent future outbreaks of violence and to allow the safe return of displaced people to their former homes. I also called for improved coordination and an increase in the level of humanitarian aid to affected communities. The British Government is providing £2 million in humanitarian assistance to people displaced in Rakhine State, enabling non-governmental organisations to provide support to 58,000 people from both communities. Thirdly, I called on the Burmese Government to take steps to bring those responsible for the violence to justice through a fair and transparent process in accordance with the rule of law. Finally, I urged the Burmese Government to address the longer term factors affecting the Rohingya community, including a review of their citizenship status.

Burma

Kerry McCarthy: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with the Government of Burma on constitutional reform in that country; and what recent reports he has received on the role of the military in the Burmese Parliament.

Hugo Swire: The British Government supports constitutional reform in Burma and is working with key Burmese institutions involved in the reform process. During my visit to Burma in December 2012 I raised with Burmese Ministers the prospects for Burma's transition towards democracy and offered support as Burma seeks to reform its laws and processes I repeated this offer of support to members of the Burmese Parliament, Nanda Kyaw Swo and Aung San Suu Kyi. British embassy officials are in regular contact with members of the Burmese Parliament who will be vital in developing Burma's constitutional framework. Three Burmese MPs from the Draft Bills Committee visited the UK from 11-16 December 2012 and met with Government and Parliament officials who shared expertise on legislative and constitutional processes I repeated this after. The British Government is also funding efforts by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy to support the Burmese Public Accounts Committee.
	The military continues to exert considerable influence in the Burmese Parliament. The current constitution provides that 25% of the members of both Houses are nominated from the military. Given that changes to the constitution require a parliamentary majority of at least 75%, this gives the military an effective veto over constitutional change. Senior Burmese Government Ministers have suggested that this could be reformed when the time is right.

North Korea

Kerry McCarthy: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with (a) his international counterparts and (b) the North Korean ambassador about human rights in North Korea.

Hugo Swire: Human rights in North Korea is the subject of regular discussions both at ministerial and official level.
	On 6 September 2012, I met the North Korean ambassador and Rim Ju Song, who with the support of the British embassy in Pyongyang, became North Korea's first Paralympic athlete. During my conversation with the ambassador, I discussed the opportunities and rights for people with disabilities in North Korea.
	During my visit to Seoul in October 2012, I met the advisers to presidential candidates Ahn Cheol-soo and Moon Jae-in and discussed what approach their candidates would take towards human rights in North Korea. I met the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ahn Ho-young, and discussed the likelihood of North Korea embarking on economic reform.
	In December 2012, I met the North Korean ambassador for a second time and discussed the importance of North Korea improving its overall human rights record. The ambassador confirmed that North Korea had no plans to change its current approach on human rights.
	During my visit to Japan in January 2013, I discussed the abduction of Japanese citizens by North Korea with the Senior Parliamentary Vice Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sunichi Suzuki.

Pakistan

Richard Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the human rights situation in Pakistan, with particular reference to the protection of Hazaras and other minority ethnic groups; and if he will make a statement.

Alistair Burt: We remain deeply concerned by the human rights situation in Pakistan, particularly the violent persecution faced by minority ethnic and religious groups. The recent terrible attacks against the Shia community in Quetta on 10 January were a shocking example of this. Many of the victims were from the Hazara community. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), strongly condemned the senseless attacks and the persecution of the Shia population in a public statement on 11 January 2012.
	This Government's concerns about the treatment of the Hazara community in Pakistan are expressed in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) Annual Human Rights Report. A House of Commons Adjournment Debate on this important issue has been tabled for 4 February.
	The FCO continues to urge the Government of Pakistan to protect and guarantee the fundamental rights of all its citizens. The Senior Minister of State, my right hon. and noble Friend Baroness Warsi, discussed the treatment of religious minorities with Pakistani Ministers during her visit in November 2012. She also hosted a Freedom of Religion and Belief Ministerial conference in London on 22 January 2013 where she was able to discuss these issues with the Pakistani Human Rights Minister.

Somaliland

Stephen Doughty: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with representatives of the Somaliland diaspora community on the revised travel advice issued by his Department on 27 January 2013.

Mark Simmonds: I have not discussed the revised travel advice with the Somaliland Diaspora community, but they have been in touch with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to express their views on the changes.

Community Orders

Gareth Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many hours of community payback were completed in (a) 2010-11 and (b) 2011-12 in (i) total, (ii) each region, (iii) each London borough and (iv) each constituent part of the UK; and if he will make a statement.

Jeremy Wright: The total hours of Community Payback work completed during 2010-11 and 2011-12 are shown in Table l, by probation trust and by region. Tables 2a and 2b provide the total hours worked by each London borough during the same periods.
	The reduction in the total hours worked between 2010-11 and 2011-12 reflects a reduction in the number of Community Payback sentences imposed by the courts as the crime rate has fallen. The proportion of offenders successfully completing Community Payback sentences increased last year.
	These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing. The data for London has been provided by Serco and London Probation Trust using different databases to that employed to obtain the national data. The individual databases will potentially have been updated at different times. Data relating to Community Payback hours worked are used only to identify trends and while care is taken to ensure accuracy the figures are not verified.
